To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL BURDET-CHEVA- LIER, a citizen of the GermanEmpire, and resid ng at Ronsdorf, near 'Barmen, Germany, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Tapes for Fastening Clothes, ofwhich the following is a specification.

Tapes for fastening clothes are wellknown, in which the fasteningmembers, 6. g. hooks and eyes, are connected with the tapes by weavingthem in. The bases of the hooks and eyes are woven in continuous,tubular, hollow fabrics, from which the hooks and elyeg projectlaterally and are thus securely e ...The subject-matter of the inventionis a tape for fastening clothes, in which dressfasteners are employed asthe fasteners, both' the upper and lower sections being inclosed inhollow fabric provided only at those parts of the tape at whichthesections of the dressfasteners ar'elocated, and which firmly securethese sections on all sides corresponding to the she, e of the same.

Figure 1 o the drawings shows the fas tening tape having its upperportion closed and the lower portion opened. Fig. 2 isa cross-sectionaccording to-A 3 and Fig. 3

is a section according to C-D-in Fig. 1.

The fabric is diagrammatically represented and the parts shown-havingan' open mesh indicate fabric'of double thickness providing therebetweenpockets each one of which is'closed in on all sides by the sur-'rounding fabric/of single thickness. These pockets in one strip of thefabric completely inclose the base plate a of one member of thefastener, the neck of the stud b of the I fastener projecting throughone face of the strip. 'The opposite member of the fastener is likewiseseated in pockets in a second strip of the fabric, the operative part atof. the

opposite member projecting through the face 011 the second strip. .Theportions of the tape between the fasteners and around the pock-- etsconsistmerely ofsimple woven fabric of single thickness closing in thepockets on all sides. When dress-fasteners are attached in this mannerthe sections are firmly connected with the tape and are immovabletherein, and when the tape is of small width it can be well and readilysewn atits edges by hand and with the sewing machine to wearing apparelor the like.

In, combination with a fabric woven to provide a'plurality of spacedapart portions of double thickness surrounded by port-ions ofsingle'thickness constituting pockets in the strip closed in on allsides, a lurality of fastener members seatedin sai the strip. I

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand'm presence of twowitnesses.
